Synopsis
The next day however, Hitomi's sense of colors is gone again. As the third-years Yamabuki and Kurumi prep for exams, they entrust summer break camp planning to the next president Asagi and vice-president Hitomi. However, Chisuga accidentally brings up Kurumi's older sister, who works as a famous pastry chef in a shop called Multique Roll, which triggers Kurumi's inferiority complex against her. When Hitomi hesitantly worries for her, Kurumi tells Hitomi that Yamabuki wants to pursue photography at university while Aoi is aiming for a national university like her as well, possibly to pursue art, confessing that they have the same motivation and passion like her sister that she lacks. Kurumi requests that Hitomi keep this conversation between them but Chisuga overhears it and shows her the various photos that he had taken of her during club activities, encouraging her that she'll find things she loves for sure in the future. Kurumi decides that photography is her first priority for now and resolves to work hard for it. Later, Aoi shows Hitomi a new piece of a human hand reaching out to a scenery of transparent globes filled with colorful objects, which awakens her lost yearning for seeing colors. While viewing the night skyline, Hitomi decides to come clean about her lack of ability to see colors.
